Unique Feelings of an Islamic Brother Upon Completion of his Dars-e-Nizami

Recitation of the Holy Quran after Salat-ul-‘Asr

Question 1: Does reciting the Holy Quran after Salat-ul-‘Asr weaken one’s memory?

Answer: Absolutely not. However, after the starting of Makruh time, i.e. 20 minutes before the sunset, it is better to discontinue the recitation of the Holy Quran and to get engaged in Zikr and Salah upon Nabi صَلَّى اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 55; Madani Muzakarah, 4 Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1440 Hijri)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Paying Mahr in the form of ‘Umrah-expenses?

Question 2: Is it allowed to pay the expenses of the ‘Umrah performed by the wife instead of paying her Mahr?

Answer: If the wife is agreed on performing ‘Umrah in this way instead of receiving the amount of Mahr in cash, then this is allowed. (Madani Muzakarah, 4 Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1440 Hijri)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Out of season fruits from Heaven

Question 3: Did fruits from the sky use to be bestowed upon Sayyidatuna Maryam رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ?

Answer: Yes indeed. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed Sayyidatuna Maryam رَضِیَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا with great dignity. She رَضِیَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا used to be blessed with out of season fruits from Heaven. When Sayyiduna Zakariyya عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام came to her, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم would find those fruits there. He عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام once asked her, ‘Where do you get these fruits from?’ Sayyidatuna Maryam رَضِیَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا who was in her young age replied, ‘From Allah Almighty’. After Sayyiduna Zakariyya عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام noticed it, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم thought to himself, ‘The Almighty has the power to bestow upon Sayyidatuna Maryam رَضِیَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا out of season fruits without any apparent means; so the Almighty also certainly has the power to bless my infertile wife with cure and bless me with a son.’ Therefore, he عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام made Du’a which was accepted, blessing him with the glad tidings of the birth of Sayyiduna Yahya عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام. (Tafseer Khaazin, vol. 1, pp. 246, 247, summarised; Madani Muzakarah, 4 Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1440 Hijri)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Sequence of superiority among blessed companions

Question 4: What is the sequence of superiority among blessed companions رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم?

Answer: After Ambiya and Mursaleen (including four great, angels namely Sayyiduna Jibra`eel, Sayyiduna Mika’eel, Sayyiduna Israfeel and Sayyiduna Izra’eel as well as the ‘Arsh-holding angles عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَام), Sayyiduna Siddeeq Akbar رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ is the most superior to all Divine creation, i.e. humans, jinns and angels. Then, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ, then Sayyiduna ‘Usman Ghani رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ and then Sayyiduna Maula ‘Ali کَرَّمَ اللّٰەُ وَجْھَـهُ الْکَرِیْم are superior respectively. After these personages, the rest the companions رَضِىَ اللّٰەُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم from among the ‘Asharah Mubashsharah’ Sayyiduna Hussain, Sayyiduna Hasan, the companions who participated in the battle of Badr and the companions who performed the “Bay’at-ur-Ridwan” are superior. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 241, 249; Madani Muzakarah, 4 Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1440 Hijri)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

Draw and ‘Umrah ticket

Question 6: Is it allowed to to travel to Makkah and to perform ‘Umrah by means of the ticket obtained from a draw?

Answer: It is allowed to travel to Makkah and to perform ‘Umrah by means of the ticket obtained from a draw held during an Ijtima’ of Zikr and Na’at as well as from a gambling-free draw. Here is an example of gambling. Four people deposit rupees 25000 each. Then a draw is conducted and the winner goes to perform the ‘Umrah, causing the rest three people to lose their money as it has already been set as a condition. This is not correct. This type of draw is impermissible and Haraam on the ground that it is based on gambling. (Madani Muzakarah, 3 Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1440 Hijri)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Applying a raw egg to the head to remove dandruff?

Question 7: Is it allowed to apply a raw egg to the head to remove dandruff?

Answer: Yes. It is allowed. (Madani Muzakarah, 3 Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1440 Hijri)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Share of daughters in inheritance

Question 8: Is there no share of daughters, before and after their marriage, in the inheritance from their parents?

Answer: Daughters and sons both have shares in the inheritance from their parents. Regardless of whether the daughter has got married or not, it is Fard to give a full share to her from the inheritance of the parents according to Shar’iah. Some people do not give shares to daughters, which is an impermissible and Haraam act leading to Hell. In order to know about the share of each heir, contact Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-
Sunnat. (Madani Muzakarah, 2 Rabi’-ul-Aakhir, 1439 Hijri)

Note: In order to know about the importance of inheritance, read the booklet ‘Maal-e-Wirasat mayn Khiyanat na Ki-Jiye’ [Don’t be Deceitful about Inheritance] published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Judgment Day and shroud

Question 9: Will humans be wearing shrouds upon resurrection on the Judgement Day?

Answer: At first, they will be wearing shrouds but the shrouds will decay due to the passing of a very long period of time and eventually fall from their bodies. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 29, pp. 545) Anyway, everyone will be concerned and worried about only himself, desperately yearning to be free from the horrors and terrors of the Judgement Day. (Madani Muzakarah, 3 Rabi’-ul-Aakhir, 1439 Hijri)

Hay nafsi nafsi chahaar janib, nisar jaoon kahan ho Maula

Chhupa lo daman mayn piyaray Aqa, yeh shor-e-Mahshar dara raha hay

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ   عَزَّوَجَلَّ   وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم   صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوْا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب!                    صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد

Unique feelings of an Islamic brother of Markazi Jami’a-tul-Madinah Bab-ul-Madinah Karachi upon completion of his Dars-e-Nizami

اَلسَّلَامُ   عَلَیْکُمْ   وَ رَحْمَۃُ  اللّٰہِ  وَ بَرَکَاتُہٗ

Today I have done my last paper of Daurah Hadees which marks the completion of my Dar-e-Nizami.  Alas! The period of 8 years of my life spent in acquiring Islamic education has quickly come to an end. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ knows whether it is accepted in His court or not. Please make Du’a that this [effort of] acquiring the knowledge of Deen does not become evidence against me in the grave and on the Day of Judgement. May I be forgiven without accountability by the blessings of this Dars-e-Nizami.

By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would do Dars-e-Nizami; this is all due to the blessing of Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allamah Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri دَامَتْ بَرَكَاتُـهُمُ الْعَالِيَـه.

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ keep Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَتْ بَرَكَاتُـهُمُ الْعَالِيَـه safe and sound forever.

اٰمِيۡن   بِجَاهِ   النَّبِيِّ  الۡاَمِيۡن   صَلَّى  اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى  عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
